Virtual Outfit Booth

A Quality of Life mod for Ultimate Chicken Horse that adds a virtual outfit booth to the Treehouse Lobby, allowing you to preview and equip outfits seamlessly without needing to own them or return to the menu.

Features

• Virtual Booth UI: Access a dedicated outfit selection interface directly from the Treehouse Lobby.
• Preview Outfits: Cycle through all available outfits for your character.
• Instant Equip: Apply your chosen outfit immediately and jump back into the action.
• Smart Camera: Automatically zooms in on your character while in the booth for a better view.
• Safe Interaction: Freezes your character and disables other inputs while in the booth to prevent accidental movement or menu usage.

Installation

2. Download the mod from Thunderstore.
3. Extract the contents to your game's BepInEx/plugins folder.

Usage

1. Enter the Treehouse Lobby.
2. Look for the Hanger Icon in the bottom right of the screen (or wherever the UI is placed, usually near the character selector or as a standalone button).

4. Use your controller or keyboard to cycle through outfits:
   • Left / Right: Change Outfit
   • Jump (Accept): Confirm and equip the current outfit.
